Lyrics
I didn't come here to meet you
I don't care what you think
I didn't come here to listen
I came here to drink
I ain't drinkin bout you
drinkin bout a girl that I once knew
slumped over my mind
thought I left the girl behind
I didn't come here to meet you
I didn't come here to think
ain't interested in the world outside
of my mind on this drink
I ain't drinkin bout you
drinkin bout a girl that I once knew
slumped over my mind
heart's hurtin all the time
I ain't drinkin bout you
drinkin bout a boy that I outgrew
slumped over his mind
everything he left behind
I didn't leave home without her
like I always mean to do
she came here with me before
she don't come here anymore
I ain't drinkin bout you
I'm drinkin for everyone
because even a love junkie
is going down like a setting sun
I ain't drinkin bout you
drinkin bout a life that I once knew
so unless you think you can take her place
I didn't come here for you (or)
slumped over my mind
thought I left it all behind
(bridge) how bitter sweet it is
to pop the top and loss all the fizz
solved the riddle but the girl is gone
if she's a bombshell, she's s bomb
I got a problem runnin wild
got trouble gettin out of bed
I can run myself right out of my own life
but I can't run her out of my head
Drinkin bout you
Drinkin for the years that we lived through
drinkin for the good times
and the bad times too
drinkin bout you
drinkin for everything you do
and everything I do without you
